Chapter 460: The Soul Steel Seal Phenomenon

Wright did visit the printing factory and was impressed by the amazing printing machines in itβ€”his main purpose was to try to print a new batch of texts to aid his missionβ€”but he was still startled by the number Gawain proposed.

Obviously, his previous concept of "printing a batch of propaganda materials" is not at all the same scale as Gawain thought.

Wright's original idea was to print hundreds or thousands of copies of the canon so that it would be enough to distribute it in the church.

Although he is the first "White Knight" in the history of mankind, although he has embarked on the path of reforming the Church of Light, and although he has been at the forefront of everyone in the doctrine of the Path of Light, his starting point is only a low-level missionary after all, and his past experience has severely limited his vision and imagination.

But Gawain believes none of this is a problem – that over time, anyone's vision has a chance to improve. In the face of the future magic tide and the magic industry age that fights against it, anyone's vision is not enough.

"100,000 copies is just an expected number, and even for an industrial printing press, it's a big order, but it's not impossible," Gawain said, "and we need all kinds of propaganda, from the simplest leaflets to Protestant pamphlets with complete teachings." What I like most about Luan is that it is a 'clergy city', with a huge number of clergy and their families, and even the commoners, who are wealthier and close to the church, who are very literate – otherwise our leaflets would be useless. ”

Amber next to him was also taken aback by Gawain's idea at first, but at this time, he faintly had some doubts: "But then again, you can defeat those gods by throwing the new doctrine into Lu'an City?" Wouldn't it stimulate the nerves of those godheads and make them more fanatical against Cecil? ”

"Of course, some of them will be stimulated to oppose us more firmly, but there will definitely be some who agree with our teachings, or at least question the Church of Light's past practices," Gawain patiently explained to Amber's question, "The Church of Light is so big that it is impossible for there to be only one Wright, and even a team of only a dozen people will be divided due to different philosophies, Do you think that there are tens of thousands of people in the entire city of Lu'an, and everyone really thinks that what the Holy Light Church has done in the past year or so is no problem? ”

Amber touched her chin: "emmmmm...... There's some truth to what you're saying......"

"What the lord says is true," Wright said with a little emotion, "the Church of the Light is indeed corrupted, but I believe that there must still be people of conscience among the middle and lower class missionaries. And while my new doctrine may seem deviant to the eyes of fanatical conservatives, in fact within the Church of the Light there is always a debate about whether the right to read the scriptures should be graded, and whether the Light belongs to the minority or the majority......

Amber's eyes widened in surprise: "You guys are still arguing about this? I thought your church was one of those diehards from top to bottom - except for you, of course, you belong to the Berserker faction. ”

"Berserker......" Wright choked for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Of course there will be arguments, the Holy Light Church may be corrupt and degenerate, but we are not without the ability to think. The lower clergy have always wanted to fight for the right to study the scriptures and interpret the doctrine for personal gain, and the argument over whether the Light belongs to the majority or the minority is because of the fundamental doctrine that the God of Light cares for everyone. In addition, there are many, many contradictions within the Holy Light Church, and although I don't like factional struggles, I don't have seen them. ”

"Whoa......," Amber exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Looks like your church is a lot more complicated than I thought......

Gawain clasped his hands to his chest: "It is impossible for a religion that has lasted for so many years and has swelled to this extent without complications. ”

Then, he thoughtfully touched the beard on his chin and said slowly, "But then again, to shake the Holy Light Church from a spiritual foundation, it is not enough to have printed materials...... Wright, how is your research on the Holy Light spell progressing? ”

"I was about to report this to you," Wright said with a complicated look on his face, and then tilted his head slightly to Emily, who was napping on his shoulder, "Emily - go get that metal plate in my room." ”

Emily let out an ethereal chuckle, and then her whole body turned into a streamer of light, and flew quickly towards the door at the back of the main hall, and it didn't take long for her to fly back - empty-handed.

However, just as Gawain began to wonder if the kid hadn't found what Wright was looking for, he saw Emily put her hand into her stomach - the translucent spirit girl dug into her stomach for a while, first finding a spinning top carved out of wood, then a handful of shiny colored stones, and finally a palm-sized rune baseboard.

The little girl smiled happily and handed it to Wright with the rune substrate in both hands.

Amber was dumbfounded: "How did she put things...... Hidden in the stomach?! ”

"I also found out by accident," Wright said as he took the rune baseplate, "There are always small objects in the church that have somehow changed places or disappeared, and after observing them, I found out why: although Emily is a spirit, she can carry something small and not too heavy, and because she is a spirit, her body has no clear 'boundaries', so she hides everything in her stomach." To be honest, I don't even know what she's hiding in her belly...... The last time the reading stand on the pulpit broke, she spat out a handful of nails......"

Amber: "......"

To be honest, Gawain's surprise was no less than that of Amber, but there were really a lot of strange guys under his hands, and he had seen one stubble after another of strange life forms in the sky over the years, so he quickly calmed down, took the rune substrate with a serious and indifferent face, and observed it carefully.

This is indeed the Rune Substrate - the base material is the second generation of standard blank stencils produced in the Rune Foundry, but in its channeling area, it is not the usual elemental runes that are inscribed, but the divine runes that are only used in the Holy Light Divine Technique.

This is a "holy light substrate".

"With the help of Kamel and Jenny, I reconstructed the first all-rune-based Holy Light spell and commissioned the people of the Rune Foundry to make this substrate," Wright recounts how the substrate was born, "It removes all the runic words that are associated with the God of Light, and ensures that the entire spell casting process is 'god-agnostic' and completely mortal-based." ”

Gao Wen looked at the lines on the rune substrate that exuded a pale golden luster, and couldn't help but get excited in his heart: "You guys...... It was really successful?! ”

"I can only say that it was partially successful......," Wright said cautiously, taking back the rune substrate from Gawain's hand and handing it to Amber, who looked confused, "Miss Amber, you try to activate it." ”

Amber took the substrate in a daze, and didn't turn the corner for a moment: "You let me be a dark night god to choose to release the holy light?!" How could I do this! ”

Gawain couldn't help but knock on the head of this elf shame: "Let's not talk about whether your self-proclaimed Dark Night Divine Choice is real, have you forgotten what the principle of the rune substrate is?" Just inject the magic power, who let you cast the spell yourself. ”

"Oh yes......" Amber reacted at this time, she scratched her hair, and looked at Wright with some anxiety, "Anyway, this thing won't explode after activation, right?" I'll tell you about my super low defense ......"

"It's just a holy light spell," Wright said with a smirk, "I promise." ”

Amber pouted, "Okay, I'll try then." ”

This was probably the most wonderful experience of this half-elf lady in her life, she had always been a self-proclaimed chosen one of the night's gods and quite resistant to the holy light, and she had the opportunity to use her own power to release a holy light spell, which made her still quite eager to try, so although her face was very unhappy, she still held the rune substrate well, and began to inject magic into the copper matrix on the edge of it.

The pale golden lines on the rune substrate lit up immediately, and the runes lit up one after the otherβ€”but a flash of white brilliance had just been condensed in those runes before it vanished.

"Hey, I didn't break itβ€”" Amber quickly tossed the substrate to Wright, "something seems wrong with this thing." ”

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it." Wright smiled bitterly and casually re-injected the magic into the substrate, and almost instantly, a ball of pure holy light condensed on the substrate: a fully formed holy light technique.

Emily, who was floating next to her, screamed happily, picked up the ball of light and left, and then flew to a short distance and nibbled on it: this was her "cookie".

"Uh......" Amber gave Emily a dumbfounded look, then at Wright, "that light just now...... Are you sure you didn't put it out yourself and pretend the substrate wasn't broken? ”

"The Holy Light is indeed released by the rune substrate," Wright said seriously, "I won't lie. ”

Amber was not happy when she heard it: "Then why can't I use it......"

"Because of the Soul Seal," Wright said, "you have a Heart Seal for the God of Light. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Don't make a fuss, how could I have that thing!! Amber was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand angrily and laughing, "I don't believe in the God of Light, I don't believe in it at all!" ”

"We have analyzed that the Spiritual Steel Seal is born with the birth of every mortal, whether you believe in the corresponding god or not, or even whether you know the existence of this god or not, this steel seal is congenitally imprinted in the depths of every mortal's soul," Gao Wen looked at Amber with an extremely serious expression - just now, he finally saw the scene of the Spiritual Steel Seal taking effect for the first time, which had already caused an uproar in his heart, but he still analyzed calmly, "Now it seems that the Spiritual Steel Seal and the so-called ' 'Reverence' or 'thought interference' is not the same, this thing...... It's trickier than we think. ”

"Yes, after the Holy Light Substrate was created, we observed the Psychic Steel Seal phenomenon through it - neither Lady Hetty, nor Miss Rebecca, nor any of the mages, knights, or runemasters in the realm could drive this rune substrate at all, because ...... The Seal of the Heart exists in the depths of every human soul. So far, there are only two exceptions, one is me and the other is Master Kamel. ”

"I ...... Go ......" Amber exclaimed in disbelief with wide eyes, "I...... I was born ...... Locked up by this kind of thing?! I...... I don't feel it at all! ”

"It's terrible because you don't feel it, it's hidden in a deeper part than your subconscious, it makes you lose a certain 'freedom' without you even being aware of it, you feel like you don't believe in the God of Light, you're not bound by the God of Light, but in the deepest part of your mind...... You will instinctively think that 'the Light belongs to God,'" Gawain said, taking a deep breath, "and everybody is a prisoner of it. ”
